The teenage daughter of former vice-presidential candidate Sarah Palin has split from her fiance for a second time, weeks after getting re-engaged.

Bristol Palin told People magazine: "It's over. I broke up with him."

She said that fiance Levi Johnston had told her on the day they announced they were engaged again that he might have fathered a child with another teenager.

Miss Palin, 19, and Mr Johnston already have a baby son; they first separated last March, shortly after the birth.

The Palin family rose to prominence when Republican presidential candidate John McCain plucked Sarah Palin, then governor of Alaska, from relative obscurity to be his running mate in the 2008 election.

During the campaign, it was announced that Miss Palin, then 17, was pregnant and that she would marry Mr Johnston, an unemployed former high-school hockey player she had met at school. -bbc
